I do realise I'm not the best writer guys, but I'm just improving, so this is why it is pretty much garbage and so short.

Disclaimer – you really think I'd be on here if I owned High School Musical?!

Growing up since they were in diapers, Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton were the best of friends, which soon turned into a blossoming relationship that both cherished dearly. They were 'joint at the hip' as their parents would say. People said they wouldn't last because the jock and the nerd could never be together, but that was before fate took it's toll and the two grew together as more than just best friends. They spent nearly everyday together, only to be apart when they were with their respective families on vacation. Everyone could see the connection between the both of them and as days went by the chemistry grew more and more, both oblivious to it. Until the day Troy couldn't take it anymore, he walked up to her and showed just how much he loved her.

Standing by her locker, Gabriella took out her books she needed for the rest of the school day. Feeling someones eyes on her she rotated her head, there she saw her best friend, looking slightly .. mesmerized? Gabriella cocked her eyebrows in confusion and slight amusement. Walking up to her best friend she waved her petite hand in front of his face.

"Hello," Gabriella greeted with amusement. "any lights on in there?" She chuckled.

Catching her totally off guard, Troy grabbed her gently and placed his soft lips against hers. Feeling shocked was a total understatement. But she liked it, she really liked it. Just as Troy was about to pull away, Gabriella moved her lips along with his. Now it was Troys turn to feel shocked, but at the same time he had never been so happy: he just kissed his best friend and she didn't pull away, instead; she kissed him back.

Gabriella pulled away hesitantly when oxygen was the problem. Smiling, she lowered down from her tiptoes and smiled at Troy nervously.

"Um .." Gabriella started, not exactly knowing what to say. "Well, that was .. cool."

Troy just chuckled."So Gabs, will you be my, um, girlfriend?" Troy gulped, oh god, he thought, at least I asked it, no going back now.

"Of course!" She shouted happily, a little too loudly. Noticing the intense stares from students, she looked down with a crimson colour rising onto her cheeks.

"Great," Troy said, feeling very happy and proud of himself for asking a question he has been meaning to ask Gabriella in years. "Because, I really do like you Brie, and I don't mean like a friend like, I mean .. a love like" cocking his eyebrow at his confession that didn't seem to make much sense to him, but he was to engrossed in Gabriella's beauty that seemed to rain upon him every time he set his eyes on her. "I love you."

This is the memory that was always going to be cemented on her mind, that was one of the best memories that she ever shared with him, out of the 100 more she would take a while describing.

But now at 25 years old Gabriella wasn't able to share those beautiful memories again. Why? Because he's no longer around, or to be exact, he's no longer alive.

Troy Bolton died, on their 8 year anniversary.

He was involved in a head on collision with another truck. The moment the doctors explained about Troys death to Gabriella, she felt as though her heart had been ripped out of her. Troy was her life, so without him, how would she live? He was the best thing that happened to her, men like him were hard to find, and once she had found him, he was gone. He wasn't coming back. She told herself. He's never coming back. He's gone, and he's took my heart with him.

Sorry it's so short. But review whether you like it or not (:
